We are from Florida and decided to try something different and spend a week in Maine in November! Our "what are we doing" fears disappeared as soon as we began our 1 hour 15 minute drive from Portland airport to Boothbay Harbor. Maine was a beautiful as I had always imagined and by the time we pulled into the driveway of this house, I was in love!
The house is very old but had been updated very tastefully. Very cozy, spacious and warm (important to warm weather Florideans). It sits up on a hill overlooking the ocean and I loved the sun that shined into the front of the house every morning. The first hour of the day in the front living room with my computer, coffee and sun was my favorite hour of the day! The yard was big so there was no issue with neighbors being on top of us. There is a seperate apartment above the garage and the couple that lived there were very nice.
It really was a short walk to town so we only got into our car to go exploring around the peninsula. McSegulls was out go to restaurant in town.
Loved our time, town & this house - can't even imagine how wonderful it would have been in the summer or fall.

Great location to stay in with your family, grill a nice meal, and dine on the deck overlooking the water. All of the comforts of home and close to nice restaurants and shops. Short drive to a beautiful beach and lighthouse.
